Compliance Requirements Employers Can’t Overlook
Illinois law now places a heightened burden on employers to act swiftly and document all efforts following reports of harassment:
Employer Responsibility Extended
Under 2024 updates to the Illinois Human Rights Act, employers are liable even if the harassment involves non-supervisors or vendors and occurs off-site or virtually.
Broader Protection Under State Law
The act applies to all employers, regardless of size, eliminating the 15-employee minimum found in federal law.
Required Response Timelines
Employers must initiate a response and begin corrective action promptly to avoid regulatory penalties.
Our training helps meet these standards while supporting internal policy enforcement.
